Covering Felling
We work in Felling (NE10) and the places around it, including Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne and Hebburn.
Homes in the North East
In the North East, terraces, semis and bungalows all offer room to extend, with stone-built villages and conservation areas in parts of County Durham and Northumberland.
What is a house renovation?
We survey the house to find what really needs doing, from damp and roof condition to wiring age, then programme the work so the messy trades (structure, first-fix, plaster) happen before the finishing trades. A single contract avoids the gaps that appear when separate trades are booked independently.
- Condition survey and scope of works
- Plastering, joinery, kitchen and bathrooms
- Decoration and flooring if required
How much should I budget for a house renovation?
Use these ranges to budget for house renovations; the survey turns them into a fixed price for the agreed specification.
| House renovations | Guide price incl. VAT |
|---|---|
| Light refurbishment | £600 to £1,000 per m² |
| Full renovation | £1,000 to £1,800 per m² |
| Structural renovation and remodel | £1,800 to £2,800 per m² |
What approvals does a house renovation need in England?
English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.
Internal work like this does not usually need planning permission unless the house is listed or your permitted development rights have been removed.
What can affect a house renovation?
- Houses empty for two years or more can qualify for the reduced 5% VAT rate on renovation.
- Older houses can hide timber decay and damp, so we allow a contingency.
What happens after I enquire?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
